Chinese Policies Towards the Non-Aligned Movement

Abstract

: China has always been supportive and sympathetic to the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and its main initiatives over six decades. Very little scholarly attention was accepted by the history of China-NAM relations and the understanding of Chinese foreign policy towards the NAM since its inception in 1961 remains incomplete. Based on People’s Daily ( Renmin ribao ), China’s most influential official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), this article tends to fill the gap between scholarly works on the PRC’s diplomatic history. By tracing the dynamics of China and NAM interactions under each demarcated period, this article aims to generate a brief review of the evolution of Chinese policies towards the NAM from 1961 to 2021.
